Started with the pump being noisier than usual and now it seems fairly audible even with a full tank of fuel.
The fuel gauge tends to be fairly irregular and most recently ( last day or two) acceleration is really sluggish.
Would i be right in thinking these could be pump related? Planning to pick up a new pump today and cutting an access panel through the rear floor....

I have recently noticed a strange vibration from under my car.
It seems like some kind of body panel start to vibe at a certain engine rev.
It's not a wheels or trasmission shafts problem, because it appears for istance at 35kmh in 3rd and 50kmh in 4th gear and if they were the wheels would always appear at the same speed.
I spent many hours under the chassis looking for any loose bolt or nut but find nothing!
Anybody got some advice???]]>11Coal springs…. Which way up?Wed, 31 Jan 2018 20:30:46 +0000https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/coal-springs%E2%80%A6-which-way-up.29846/

I got 1985 Landrover County registered new 1987 in NZ and have built it into a camper during the last couple years, will post some photos later
Now, I know that the former owner (good mate) dropped an army 3.5 L V8 in it, there is no engine number on it so I have to go with its a fairly low compression rate motor
I have done tonnes (years) of research and investigations on how to make this run better and bit...

The beautiful restoration comes with a specially made black mohair soft top with the Cool & Vintage Logo and hashtag on it. For ensuring that the build is...

My Landy is going to be part of a display at a festival event soon so when someone suggested they wrap my Defender 110 I thought I’d give it a go so the old girl was looking her best.
